Twin Dimension Yin-Yang Mirror: Attaining immortality through the martial path-Chapter 701 - 551 Counting Heaven and Earth + - 552 Immortal Art and Valor Heart_3

Chapter 701: Chapter 551 Counting Heaven and Earth + Chapter 552 Immortal Art and Valor Heart_3

It’s very likely that the masters in the Heavenly Cave Blessed Land have not been informed yet; outside, all living forces had already perished.

Therefore, the Great Elder of the Tang Family, who has long been positioned at the boundary of the Blessed Land, could not only cultivate with the overflow of Spiritual Energy from the space but could also report to the masters inside the Blessed Land in a timely manner.

Logically speaking, under such a crisis that might lead to the clan’s downfall, the best course of action would be to burn incense in advance and beseech the ancestors to appear, bearing the pressure of heaven and earth, boldly stepping forth to slay the powerful enemy.

Preserving the family’s heritage, even at the cost of suffering backlash and a significant reduction in Cultivation, would actually be worth it.

However, when the crisis had not yet arrived, and the matter was not yet certain.

Which family’s Divine Martial ancestor would risk jumping out of their world, like a fish leaping out of water, to fight in this land?

Wouldn’t that be akin to strapping one’s head to their belt in recklessness?

To come and go with such a heavy loss of Cultivation, if it turned out to be a trap, then that would be a true case of loss outweighing the gain.

"Through war we seek peace; if successful, then a truce can be reached. Otherwise, my Tang Family, from top to bottom, can only be controlled by others, becoming their swords and shields, and the time of our annihilation is imminent."

This was Tang Wan’s decision.

...

"What a Jade-and-Stone-Burned-Together annihilating formation; it seems the Tang Family does have capable people."

Zhou Ping’an stood at the entrance of the Tang Residence, just about to step over the threshold, but then he quietly retracted his right foot, shaking his head with a smile.

This time, he had a premonition in his heart, understanding that things would not go too smoothly, and that a battle was likely inevitable – naturally, he would not bring Lin Huaiyu along with him.

The matters at the Qunfang Courtyard were quite simple to deal with.

As for those killed guards and experts, let it be.

Tang Baoyu, the prodigal son who had been crippled and whose meridians were shattered beyond repair, and who was doomed to become an invalid struggling to walk, did not necessarily need to be killed.

Zhou Ping’an had come to Jinhe not to act the hero but to settle things once and for all—to completely subdue the Tang Family.

At this point, he didn’t mind giving Tang Shimin a favor.

However, whether Tang Baoyu would appreciate this favor, he did not know.

From a dragon among men to a mere freeloader kept at home, all the glory of the past faded away. Aside from siring a few descendants for the Tang Family, he had lost all hope.

Such a life was probably worse than death.

Dying then would only be temporary suffering; living on would be enduring agony every day.

In a way, it could be seen as avenging some of the families in Jinhe City that Tang Baoyu had wronged.

The eventual end of a freeloader like Tang Baoyu was not of much concern to Zhou Ping’an; after using him as a tool, naturally, the vanguard troops would move into the city and take control of Jinhe County City.

Furthermore, orders would be given to the under-command troops to take control of the ten counties under Jinhe County’s jurisdiction.

With Tang Family’s top experts all within his grasp, some matters became very simple.

Originally, Jinhe County was the Tang Family’s one-word hall. Now, whether they liked it or not, since they needed to submit, they had to show sincerity.

As for the future, how to place people and how to maintain the Tang Family’s reputation, it all depended on their performance.

Tang Shimin was also aware of this.

He didn’t pick on the positions of the various city officials.

Instead, he agreed to send capable personnel from his family to serve as Assistant Officers, to aid Zhou Ping’an in the proper governance of each city.

After spending a day handling miscellaneous affairs.

When Zhou Ping’an and several Elders of the Tang Family arrived at the Tang Residence, they saw a terrible aura of bloodshed hovering above the thousand acres of land.

A faint threat lingered at the bottom of their hearts.

Sweeping across the Tang Family Mansion with his spiritual power like a tidal wave, he found that everything was vague and unclear.

It seemed as if even the mind was shrouded in a layer of fog.

"Tang Wan, you actually set up the Immortal Art and Valor Heart Formation. Who gave you such audacity to behave so recklessly? Do you wish to drag the Tang Family into an irredeemable abyss?"

Seeing the change in Zhou Ping’an’s expression.

Tang Family Patriarch Tang Shimin was somewhat puzzled, advancing a few steps and sensing slightly, his complexion suddenly changed drastically.

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His injuries had not yet healed, and with Zhou Ping’an watching over, he couldn’t rest and recover properly.

Besides, healing the wounds wouldn’t make much of a difference.

The Jade Talisman given by the venerable ancestor, which could possibly reverse the situation, had also disappeared.

Without that item in hand, he wouldn’t dare to strike at Zhou Ping’an again even if he was offered a few more lives.

That defeat of the other day had not only shattered Tang Shimin’s courage but had also dissipated the bravery of several Elders and the eighteen Elite Cavalry of the Tang Family.

At their best, they were no match for him.

With their strength now compromised, what would attempting to fight be but a death wish?

Besides, sometimes Tang Shimin really considered simply acknowledging his subordinate status and working diligently for Zhou Ping’an.

With the opponent’s Martial Arts prowess and strategic wisdom, it seemed there was indeed a chance of success.

Just like the large pie Zhou Ping’an sketched out – though it sounded unreliable, whether a promise can be realized actually doesn’t depend on whether one dares to dream, but on whether their strength is adequate.

If there is enough support from powerful experts and the backing of several forces, even a falsehood can become a reality.

A thousand years ago, when the Great Yu Dynasty was founded, the founding figure had the help of many, starting from a position of weakness, but as the battles went on, the forces and experts under his command grew more and more, snowballing into a momentum that swept the entire world.

The turning point of the battle was because of a love affair between a Female Disciple from the Pure Yang Sword Sect and Xiao Changhe.

With the power of one person, to move a whole sect, and then to use one sect as the foundation, to align with two World Families, the momentum was established...

Successors claim that the crux of Emperor Changhe’s achievement lay in Consort Ming.

Without her, the emergence of the Great Yu Dynasty might not have occurred.

The Great Yu Dynasty was like this.

Then, wouldn’t the Tang Family’s allegiance possibly be such a turning point?

Tang Shimin thought a lot.

In the end, he convinced his own heart.

He also convinced a few of his old brothers.

Decided to really let the Tang Family submit.

However, upon returning to the doorsteps of his home, what he saw was his younger generations preparing to fight a desperate battle to the death.

How could this be bearable?

Immediately, Tang Shimin almost succumbed to rage, bordering on madness, which could lead to death.

Wasn’t this equivalent to those descendants all pointing their fingers at his nose and cursing, "While we are ready to fight to the death, why have you submitted so early, Your Majesty?"

The role of Clan Leader he had played had become a joke in the eyes of the world.

The only one capable of doing such a thing was Tang Wan.

Only that girl had such prestige and strength, to twist the young and middle generations of the Tang Family into one rope, and furthermore, to delude them into going along with this suicidal folly.

"What a misfortune of the family, how did we ever produce such a scourge?"
